Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, visited The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club (RCYC) in Burnham-on-Crouch, as part of their 150th Anniversary celebrations last Monday (July 18).
Princess Anne, a keen sailor herself, took to the water to watch sailing boats of various shapes and sizes compete for the Acorn Trophy. The trophy itself is 150 years old and represents a unique symbol of the RCYC heritage.

Accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of Essex, Jenny Tolhurst, The Princess Royal met local dignitaries, members, and volunteers before viewing the start of the race. She was then escorted by Club Commodore Phillip Aspinall to view the racing from the water.
